Architecture, 2015
“The representation of what design can do and how it can build community is evident for this climate and this community. The way this project sustainably translates energy and architecture to this community is praiseworthy. This building does things that do not always get done, let alone done well, and the architects did a lot of those things nicely, elegantly and simply. This is a very simple yet beautiful design—it is also pragmatic, fundamental, and responsive. The butterfly roof and the articulation of the trusses are particularly worth noting.”
